GENERIC NAMES OF THE FAMILY STAPHYLINIDAE 219 



LESTEVA Latreille— Continued 



In either choice the two names must be applied to the p:enus previously 

 known as Anthopliagus, for both alpinus and aihreviatus are now placed 

 therein. It seems preferable to consider the eight species available, with 

 L. alpina fixed as genotype in 1810.

 LEUCITUS Fauvel, 187Sd, p. 253. 



Genotype : Leucitus argyreiis Fauvel. 

 Fixed by : Fauvel, 1878d, p. 253, by virtual monotypy. 

 Later citations: L. argyreus Fauvel, by Lucas, 1920, p. 373. 

 Discussion : One other species (stenoides Gravenhorst) was cited. Since it 

 was doubtfully included, it was not available as genotype.

 LEUCOCRASPEDON [Error for Leticocraspedum]. 

 LEUCOCRASPEDUM Kraatz, 1859, p. 5L

 Later citations: L. ustus (LeConte), by Blackwelder, 1939, p. 119; 1943, 



p. 321. 

 Synonyms: {See Paederus) . 



Discussion : Casey's statements show that this genus was not strictly mono- 

 basic. He says, "We have at present but a single species as follows" 

 [ustus LeC] and, "A few species of Leucopaederus occur also in Mexico, 

 one of which has been described by Dr. Sharp." However, the one species 

 named is the only one available as genotype.

 LEUCOPARYPHUS Kraatz, lS57c, p. 393. [Synonym of Cilea.}
